Colleagues, you will remember that in the course of the last 18 months we have had at different times members bringing up situations which took place in committee.
As the hon. member for North Island-Powell River said, it is rare that your Speaker would intervene in a matter of a committee.
I have heard both sides today. I imagine there are some nuances I am not grasping because many times in the telling of both sides the whole flavour is not there. That is why this House in its wisdom has made the committees masters of their own destiny, if you will. It is only in really extraordinary circumstances that the Speaker has intervened.
Having heard from both sides, and both sides seem to have very good arguments, I would be inclined to once again say very briefly that it seems to me the hon. member does have a grievance but that the grievance should be settled in committee. I would suggest that the hon. member or members who feel aggrieved should bring this up in the committee proper. I would like to have this matter rest for now.
Are there any other points of order?
